This Stockport Community Cycling Club Alderley Circular ride was one I hadn’t planned on attending. However, the original back leader had a poorly bike, so I agreed to step in. Since I was the back leader, and Sarah is still recovering from a broken shoulder, it hopefully explains why most of the photos in this post are taken from the back! We met in the lay-by in front of the Deanwater Hotel, Woodford. It was a wet Autumn morning. Most…
The forecast for the weekend indicated lots of foul weather. So it was that most Stockport Community Cycling Club riders decided to stay at home, and only eight turned up for this ride out to Alderley Edge and Wilmslow.

The route was an extended version of a ride I had created for Stockport Community Cycling Club. We set off making our way down Tenement Lane. We…
